The block_people plugin displays a list of the course's teachers grouped by roles. The block shows the teacher's avatar, a quicklink to his/her profile and a quicklink to send him/her a message with the moodle message system. Furthermore, there is a quicklink to the participants list of the course.

Please see README file for details about the usage and features of this plugin.

Hi Alexander,
We appreciate your bloc, and use it in most of our courses. Do you plan to make it officially compatible with Moodle 3.1? It could then be installed/updated directly via Moodle web interface.

citing our Moodle release support statement from https://github.com/moodleuulm/moodle-block_people/blob/master/README.md:
-----
Due to limited resources, block_people is only maintained for the most recent major release of Moodle. However, previous versions of this plugin which work in legacy major releases of Moodle are still available as-is without any further updates in the Moodle plugins repository.

There may be several weeks after a new major release of Moodle has been published until we can do a compatibility check and fix problems if necessary. If you encounter problems with a new major release of Moodle - or can confirm that block_course_overview_campus still works with a new major relase - please let us know on https://github.com/moodleuulm/moodle-block_people/issues

Currently, we plan to work on 3.1 in July. But as far as I see, there are no fatal errors with the 3.0 version of this plugin on 3.1. Is there any problem for you with running the 3.0 version on 3.1 that requires the plugin to be marked officially compatible with 3.1?

Sorry for the late answer.
For what i've seen, the 3.0 compatible version works well on 3.1.
Having a plugin marked (officially / in Moodle plugins) compatible with later Moodle version just allows a more simple way to install/upgrade for administrators, and "prove" it's maintained. This way, people who decide to update to latest Moodle version (with compatible plugins) better trust it

thanks for your feedback about 3.1 and glad to hear that the 3.0 version still works.

I fully understand your comment and marking the plugin as compatible with a certain version and we will do this as soon as we did our internal tests in July. I just asked because I thought you need the 3.0 version to be marked as compatible with 3.1 _now_

well, after installing the plugin, you have to add it to a course where you want to use its functionality.
Without more details about the things you have done or you have failed to do, it's hard to help you in any way.

I have to explain it better: in home page I don't wanna show the block of a specific course, but I wanna list all the users with "teacher" role. My goal is to create a contact block for students who have issues with the LMS, so insert this block in home page seems better to me. Inside the single courses I already use a ticket plugin, for all the issues related to them.

you can place the block to the frontpage. But it will only show the teachers which are enrolled in the "frontpage course". This is how this block is built and what it is intended to do.
We don't have plans to extend it in a way you want it to work, sorry.

technically, the frontpage is also only a course (with course ID 1 and some special features), and technically, you can place the people block onto the frontpage. But it will only show you the users who are enrolled into this frontpage course and not all the teachers on your site. Thus it's not what you are looking for, sorry.
